In December 2014, Doutzen ended her employment to Victoria's Secret. This was confirmed by linklinklink.

According to Ed Razker, Doutzen was from her contract at request from her agency. Previously, Doutzen had recieved a major business opportunity at Europe, which would have conflicted with her VS obligations. This caused a mild controversy, as Karlie Kloss' departure from VS had been announced, but VS had neglected to mention anything about Doutzen leaving as well.

However, a source has since told the New York Post newspaper that the pair have quit because they are being underpaid.
